Re: Outlines: Chronology versus Narrative
Game of Thrones follows a bunch of characters but uses a linear time line. With the huge cast, you need something to ground you in the story.

I'll have to think about more examples. I'm having trouble placing Gone Girl between 1 and 3.

Anyone else have some fun examples of stories you've loved that use one of these methods?
